I don't blindly answer those questions even tho it can be time consuming
at times. I tend to look at a new feature as something I don't need,
since I'm not adding hardware. I still look to see if it is something
new that could be useful. The new features are usually marked as new so
they're easy to see. What gets me, it asks for something that I've
already done before and it has the option I chose before already
selected but asks me anyway. That's kinda weird.
When I was going through oldconfig, I noticed that when I answered yes
to a new thing, files system option that I could possibly need one day,
that a whole bunch of related new stuff followed behind it. It makes
logical sense but it does open a can of worms for sure.
I wish there was a better way to update kernels but thing is, I can't
figure out a better way to do it either. I suspect if there was a
better way, someone would have figured it out by now anyway. ;-)
Now to reboot this thing, eventually. lol
